Last Comic Standing's Summer 2007 fifth edition expanded its traditionally American search by making additional audition stops in Sydney, Australia, London, England and Montreal, Canada. While the show's sixth installment is mostly going back to the basics by scheduling seven stops in the States, an audition is also scheduled to be held in Canada.
Comedians interested in attending one of the open-call auditions should be at least 18 years of age and prepare two minutes of material for the show's talent scouts. The top comics from each of the eight audition cities will advance to the semifinal round, where they'll be narrowed to the Top 10 finalists for the chance to win Last Comic Standing's sixth-season title.
NBC gave an early renewal to Last Comic Standing last August, and also revealed fifth-season host Bill Bellamy would be reprising his role.
